      2007-03-16 Fri Mar 16 11:03 Spring -- Room Changed

      I've managed to get the class room moved from the TC023A (No computers or projector, and a long way a way) to JBH358. Also I've updated the syllabus for CS320 [ spring.syllabus.html ] in one or two small ways.

      (2) The last class, Project Presentations is on Monday the 19th.

      (3) During Finals week I will be updating this web site ready for the Spring quarter. I'll move the grades for this quarter into a oldgrading. After the final the schedule will become the spring quarter...

      I've transcribed Dr. Gomez's grades and added the project grading and class+lab from Monday March 5th -- [ grading/ ] -- please check since bulk grading tends to be error prone.

      2007-02-08 Thu Feb 8 06:02 Duff and Grades

      I've made the lab [ lab/09.html ] a little easier by including a sampe of how to call Duff's function -- and fixing a bug in it.

      The grades [ grading ] have been posted.

      2007-02-05 Mon Feb 5 15:02 Grades done

      Grades for today, and corrections have been posted.

      2007-02-02 Fri Feb 2 09:02 Project Phase 1 Iteration 1 Grades posted

       See [ grading/ ] for latest grading. The marked up deliverables will be returned on Monday -- or to any team memember who collects them from my office.

      I think most groups may wish to resubmit there phase 1 documents at the start of the 12th class.

      By the way, an alumni of CSci320 contributed to [ phalanger-intro.asp ] an article on a .NET system for PHP called Phalanger. The Code Project website [ http://www.codeproject.com/ ] looks like a good resource if you are into developing software for the MicroSoft Platforms.

      2007-01-31 Wed Jan 31 15:01 Fortress and FORTRAN

      Fortress a big jump on Fortran [ 0,7204,21124560%5E15321%5E%5Enbv%5E,00.html ]
        Barbara Gengler JANUARY 30, 2007

        REMEMBER Fortran? Sun Microsystems is developing a follow-up programming language that may drive high-performance computing in the future.

        The prototype Fortress, released as open-source software, is intended to take the place of Fortran.

        Sun also released a series of draft specifications of the language and published formal calculi and soundness proofs of several of the core language features.

      2007-01-24 Wed Jan 24 16:01 First grades posted...

       Go to [ grading/ ] , input your PINword, and look for the row with "***" to see your scores so far.

      2007-01-22 Mon Jan 22 14:01 Java and the Kitchen Sink Language

       This just in from the Assoc of Computing Machinary:
        Sun Microsystems has announced that it will open-source its new Java compiler, Javac, through a project known as the Kitchen Sink Language (KSL), which will allow programmers to play around with the language in hopes of obtaining data on which to base debates concerning the dynamic language. Javac lead tech Peter von der Ahe says, "I see a lot of proposal for enhancing the language and our team has to turn down most. So how can we experiment?" KSL, a Sun incubator project created by Java creator and Sun Fellow James Gosling, is a forum that will let programmers evaluate the language "by using [it] on their own code," rather than reading abstract specifications and proposals, according to von der Ahe. He understands the potential for chaos that KSL could bring to the language, so he explains that Sun must be "conservative" when evaluating features to implement. In a Jan. 8 blog post, Gosling said, "I've never been real happy with debates about language features. I'd much rather implement them and try them out." Though some took this to mean that Gosling did not like any debate on the subject, he clarified himself by explaining that he did not approve of debate when it was separated from "experiment and data," and that KSL will provide this type of scientific foundation for debating features.

       David Cumbow (CS320 last spring) sent me a link [ http://www.codeide.com/ ] to a web site that lets you input a piece of cade and compile/run it!

      Don't know how good it is.... but what a cool idea.

       The campus has been closed.

      It would be good if you can go to a computer science lab and try out your log in.
